Chapter 153 - 151: Congratulations to Aunt for Gaining a Noble Daughter-in-law
Shen Yinning almost forgot that Lu Qianqian had even summoned several Hidden Guards last night.
Standing at the edge of the crowd enjoying the uproar, she heard a commotion at the staircase. Someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Make way, make way! Don’t you see the Shen Guogong Mansion is here?!"
Mrs. Qin, surrounded by maids and old servant women, blushed at these words.
Her son and the Princess committing *that* kind of scandal in a tavern, and with other men present—how could this possibly be something to brag about?!
When she first heard about it, she didn’t even want to come. But her husband absolutely refused to show up, claiming it would damage his official prestige among the public. Left with no choice, she had to brace herself and deal with Shen Xinglei’s mess.
Shen Yinning followed the crowd to the door of the room.
Looking inside, Lu Qianqian sat disheveled on the bed sobbing, while Shen Xinglei, the effects of his sedative long worn off, was furiously kicking over a curio shelf. The jade and porcelain on it fell with a series of crashes, shattering all over the ground, leaving the room in utter chaos.
Mrs. Qin stepped over the threshold, only to find there wasn’t even a spot to set foot.
She furrowed her brows tightly. "Second Son!"
"Mother!" Shen Xinglei seemed to have found a pillar of support. "I had no idea what happened last night, but the Princess refuses to let me leave and insists that I take responsibility for her. You must talk some sense into her!"
"How could you not know?!" Lu Qianqian lifted her tear-streaked face and chastised him sharply, "Do you need me to remind you what you did to me last night?! You took my virtue—how can you not take responsibility?! Shen Xinglei, I never imagined you to be such a despicable scoundrel!"
